Yeah, I read something about a 130000000 or more 0's date too.
lol! I am not sure it is possible for the sun to line up with itself. XDPandamore said:And astrometors supposedly said the sun should be lined up deirectly with the sun on that date, but idk if it's coming from a reliable source.

Agree, you can't line up 2 objects in a 3 dimensional world without having another point, like another object or any other point. 3 objects is possible, but two no. Well actually like Pandamore said it is possible, but they're lined up all the time, since you can draw a line from one to another at any time.Medaforcer said:Pandamore said:I meant earth to line up with the sun >.>''
Line up with the sun from what perspective? It's hard to decide what "line up with" means for two spheres in a astronomically large 3D plane.
Depending on where you're looking from we're lined up with the sun 24/7.

Ancient calendars are interesting to historians, but of they cannot match the ability we have today to keep track of time, or the precision of the calendars currently in use. The main point, however, is that calendars, whether contemporary or ancient, cannot predict the future of our planet or warn of things to happen on a specific date such as 2012.
I note that my desk calendar ends much sooner, on December 31 2009, but I do not interpret this as a prediction of Armageddon. It is just the beginning of a new year.
(These are not my words, but it is my view on the subject.)

You might want to delve deeper into the subject that is the Mayan Calendar before saying what you said next time. They predicted with their own calendar the Spanish Invasion and more. Despite them being very violent, there calendar is 1 piece of work 'modern' humans have yet to understand how they made it.
